MR and PET imaging have both become an important part in
radiation therapy (RT) treatment planning to improve the
accuracy of target volume delineation. A prototype RT
table and two RF coil holders that each fix one flexible
body matrix RF coil for head imaging are introduced for
hybrid PET/MR imaging and tested towards MR and PET
compatibility. MR and PET image quality has been
validated with phantom scans and attenuation correction
methods are presented. Furthermore, an
in
vivo
study
on two patients has been included to illustrate the
clinical usage of these RT devices in PET/MR hybrid
imaging.
